About the role

The company's first product is an electronic invoicing and payment portal for wholesale sellers, which allows them to get paid faster and decrease losses.
For buyers, Wholesail automates the accounts payable & expense management process to save them time and money.
Are you passionate about working with other experienced engineers who have a passion for their craft?

Responsibilities

Are you fascinated by how people use products, actively seek to understand the "why" behind product decisions, and approach product building as a craft?
As an early engineer, you'll build new features and internal APIs to create value for the suppliers and buyers on our network.
Our small product team wears many hats, so you'll get significant exposure to many areas adjacent to engineering: design, marketing, customer success, sales, and all of the functions of an early stage startup.
You'll participate in different styles of execution based on the stage of product development - from iterating quickly on an experiment with intentionally scrappy code to building sustainable systems that serve as a foundation for years to come.
Most significantly, you'll be building the company with us.

Company info

Are naturally curious about and have a keen interest in understanding the "why?" by digging into the nuts-and-bolts of how things work as a first principles thinker.
Think deeply about products - from building empathy for users, to understanding how a product works, how it fits into a complex system, and how it creates business value.
Obsess about the details of your craft whether it's designing a new abstraction layer, building an API for a colleague on the frontend team or shipping a pixel perfect feature.
Quickly build intuition in new domains and are able to articulate product/engineering tradeoffs early on while also pragmatically handling (and minimizing work on) edge cases.
Estimate and prioritize when faced with different proposed solutions, to help guide the team towards building the most impactful products.
Strive to quickly deliver value through rapid product validation cycles and have a keen ability to identify quick wins that create value for customers.
Use data to guide your understanding of user behavior and inform the decisions you make to maximize building value for customers.
Strive for end-to-end ownership of your work, are proactive with sharing product ideas/opinions, and seek early feedback from other members of your team.
Build empathy and relationships with strong listening, written, and verbal communication skills - particularly with non-engineering folks such as designers, PMs, support and sales.
from what values we embrace, how we build our teams, decisions about how we grow our business, and everything in between.
